I wake up with a smile on my face. Annie is here with me, I have to check the girl's room to make sure she is there. As I walk in I look towards the bed that Annie is sleeping in and I smile. Her chestnut brown hair is fanned out all over the pillow and she is sleeping with a small smile on her face. I take my leave from the room as I see how happy both girls look. I wonder to the living area to wait for everyone to wake up. I don't have to wait long before both Merritt and Danny walk over to me. Merritt sits down in the armchair opposite me while Danny sits at a table to read the plans, again. . We sit there for about five minutes without saying anything before luckily Henley and Annie come out of their room. Annie sits down next to me with her legs tucked underneath her and I put my arm loosely around her shoulders. Annie leans her head on my shoulder and we both suddenly hear a click. I look at Henley who has her phone out.
"What"? Henley says innocently "it was too cute to not take a picture". Annie giggles quietly at this. The laughing mood is soon broken when we hear Danny throw the plans across the table in annoyance. Henley is the first to react and she walks behind Danny and places her hands on his shoulders to calm him. Merritt raises his eyebrows but suppresses his joking remark. The next person who reacts is surprisingly Annie. She leaves my side, goes to the other side of the table, picks up the plans before coming back to sit curled up next to me.
Danny looks at my younger sister in surprise that she would do that for him. Annie looks up at me with an expression that asks if she is allowed to look at the plans. I chuckle gently tickle her in the place she used to be ticklish. By her reaction it confirms that she still is ticklish as she squirms. Annie flicks open the plans and reads the first point. It says 1. To do this you need Money. Search up SETLERRS. Annie re reads it.
Suddenly Danny looks up and says to Annie with his voice oozing sarcasm "Any ideas then". The smirk on his face soon disappears when he sees Annie nod. I can't help myself I start to laugh at Danny's expression which no one has ever seen. Danny glares at me and opens his mouth to say something but Annie cuts him off.
"Yeah Danny I do have an idea." Danny nods at Annie and has a look which simply says 'go on'. Annie smiles and says "do you have a piece of paper". Merritt hands one to her and Danny moves behind Annie to see what her idea is. Annie writes all the letters to the word SETLERRS all around the page. I immediately know what she is doing and a few seconds later Danny does to. At the bottom of the page Annie starts to write the letters in a different order. Soon Danny joins in and is wrapping an arm round Annie to point out letters. Every time he does it I deliberately give Danny a look that says 'hurt her and I will kill you'. I just get a rush from doing it because Annie and I got split up before I ever had the chance to give anyone that look so I'm doing it a lot now.
We all leave Annie and Danny in peace to work on the plans. Before I leave I kiss Annie on the head and glare once more at Danny so he knows he can't do anything. About three hours later they both come back in and tell us they have sent a video to Tressler insurance containing videos of each of their solo performances. Since we did work this morning we just watch a film before retiring to our rooms.
2am
I'm soon jarred from sleep when I hear someone knocking on mine ad Danny's room. I open the door to find Henley standing still half asleep. "Jack come quickly" she almost yells "it's something about Annie". If I was sleepy before I am completely awake when she mentions Annie. We all rush to the girl's room to find Annie in her bed tears streaming down her face, thrashing around and mumbling something to herself. In an instant I am by her side. Now I can make out what she is saying.
"Papa I'm sorry" I hear Annie say louder than the rest of what she has said. I grip her arms and whisper soothing words into her ears. When I look up again I see Merritt has joined the group but I don't have time to think about it because at that moment Annie shoots bolt upright with a scream. I immediately wrap my arms around her smaller frame and she turns to sob into my shoulder.
"It's ok now Annie, He can't hurt you anymore" I say reassuring to her. I keep repeating this to her in hope of calming her. After a few minutes Annie's sobs start to die down to quiet whimpers and her breathing starts to return to normal. I am trying to think of a way to calm her down when an idea comes to me. I clear my throat and start to sing a song we sang when we were kids.
"Don't cry" Then Annie sings her point over lapping mine. "Don't cry Jackie"
"Please don't cry. I am here little sis"
"I'm alright Jackie"
"Please don't cry", "please don't cry" We say echoing each other
"Dry your eyes" I sing while stocking any tears that have fallen away. "Here let me wipe away your tears" Annie sings and does the same to me. "Little sis"
"Forgive me", "Jackie forgive me"
"I didn't mean to desert you"
"I didn't mean to upset you, Please Jackie don't cry" Annie the moves to lean her head on my shoulder.
"Don't cry little sis" I stroke away a new tear that just fell. "I'll be alright" I'm trying to work out if Annie is trying to reassure me or trying to calm herself down.
"With you by my side" Annie's eyes start to close. "Nothing can harm you"
"You have nothing to fear", "I have nothing to fear" We sing together "I'm here", "You're hear" We finish together. Soon I feel Annie relax against me and I gently lay her down on her bed with a blanket wrapped around her. I turn to the door to find Henley, Merritt and Danny looking at us with small smiles on their faces. Henley moves first she yaws and gets into her bed and we go to her separate rooms and do the same.
Hi hope you liked that. I know it isn't the most interesting chapter sorry but I am kind of happy with it. I should also say that I don't own the song I'm here.
I am going to wait until I have three more reviews before I update again. Please tell me in your reviews whether you want the next chapter to have more bonding with the four horsemen, More information on the Wilders past or for it to have skipped to the Las Vegas show.
Bye Hannisquid xxxxx
